[Laszlo-dev] super.initialize call for a class with no superclass?

[Henry Minsky]

I removed the pragma in LzLoader, but then started getting this compiler
error:

Compile again [Enter | q + Enter]:
org.openlaszlo.sc.CompilerException: data/LzLoader.as:15:5:
org.openlaszlo.sc.UnimplementedError: unimplemented: calling
 super.initialize from null.  The method names must have the same
capitalization.
Compilation aborted.

so I put it back for now.
